Andy has asked, A REAL QUESTION, "and it is a good question", so I am going to answer it, but this may take some explaining.
Andy's first mistake is using the word "everything". If you reread my article, it is not about getting "everything". What it is trying to do, is to "resolve the complaints of other Tynon members about Synergia". And they complain about not getting their Gold Runes, and Fragments. By putting up the article, "I am acknowledging that their complaints "are valid", and "need to be addressed". Also, in order for me to have a good article/idea, "I have to come up with "solutions" for their concerns."
In rereading the article, "ONLY" the Gold Runes and Fragments is the issue being addressed, on the behalf of other Guild Hosts and Members. What that means is... "EVERYTHING ELSE YOU HAVE TO GET FROM THE TEMPLE!" (This is how you know that I am not trying to get rid of the temple.)
These are some of the things that you will have to go to the temple to get, with my proposal.

NOTE: With the above table in place, it is "easy to see" that "almost Two Dozen items" are needed at the Rune Temple. Therefore, IT SHOULD BE "OBVIOUS" THAT I AM NOT EFFECTIVELY WORKING TOWARDS ELIMINATING THE RUNE TEMPLE.
NOTE: 20 Rune "Fragments" are needed to purchase the upper-level runes. This cannot be accomplished with Synergia, or by eliminating the Rune Temple. So again, you can see that I am not trying to effectively reduce the Rune Temple to rubble. Thus, "The Temple is Needed."
NOTE: As Dawnseeker has stated, on March 7th, 9:04 PM (Page 2)
"Thanks for these thoughtful suggestions. Synergia is not meant to completely replace the Rune Temple. It is meant as an alternative for those who only want to level a rune and don't need fragments and gold runes. If we made Synergia any better, it would undermine the use of the Rune Temple completely."
NOTE: Dawnseeker should have everyone's Respect, because of his managerial position. Nevertheless, I can disagree with him and be right. And if he is as Intelligent as I suspect, he would like to know where he is wrong, and where I am right.
First, I understand that Synergia was not meant to replace the Rune Temple. And as I have been trying to show, "I am not proposing that." Also, my improvements to Synergia "will not" effectively destroy the temple's necessity. Also, using "logic", if Dawnseeker is right, that there are people who "don't need fragments and gold runes", then without the necessity for "Experience", THEN THOSE INDIVIDUALS HAVE ALREADY ELIMINATED THE NEED FOR THE TEMPLE, BY THE GREAT DEGREE OF THEIR TYNON SUCCESS. (Without the need for Experience, "They do not need the Temple, because they do not need to level-up.") In that situation, then Synergia will not be used by them. That means that Synergia is for "everyone else", provided that they still get their money's worth, by receiving the occasional Gold Rune or Fragment. That is why I am proposing this.
Second, based on Dawnseeker's next comment, "It is only meant.. for those who... do not need fragments and gold runes." This is where I will respectfully disagree with him. "What Dawnseeker has stated is true, but, there is dissatisfaction about its "limited uses". The general consensus is, "We want gold runes and fragments". Without that, some Tynon members find it a poor investment of their coins. So I do not see why so many Tynon members need to be offended by the fact/quote that Synergia is only for Tynon's rich and famous, to quote a show. That makes Synergia a rune, "for only the privileged". What I am proposing is not to destroy the Rune Temple, but to make Synergia "an option for all who want to use it's convenience", without losing the value they place on their coins, because they would still receive "the occasional" Gold Rune or Fragment. Neither do I intent to cheat uCool, Inc. because I have recommended using "the same percentages".
NOTE: Lastly, VIP members get to summon the Legendary Rune Keeper multiple times/day. That is something else that people are going to need the Rune Temple for. And once again, I am not proposing to do away with the Rune Temple.
In closing, "I hope that this answers everyone's questions."
